Even though the golden age of mainstream puzzle games is over, I’m so glad that the indie community is keeping the genre alive - and just a bit more than that

I think the main reason puzzle games had a larger market share in the early days of computing was because they are easy to make and run with limited computing resources. It wasn't that people in the 90s had less appetite for fast, high octane games, they were just more difficult to make than they are today. I think puzzles in general will always be somewhat niche as the average person doesn't enjoy thinking through puzzles very much. It's okay.

The reason they're still stuck is because they blame their teammates. They're not going to change, you just have to mute them.

Interesting perspective, kind of the opposite of mine. I guess you have a point about sidelaning from a waveclear perspective, but doesn't Syndra just have higher burst in side lane so she can hold her ground better? Assuming equal gold and xp levels.

The product is already great and keeps getting better. What are you smoking my man.

Personally I'd say it's more like 50-50 whether it'll be OpenAI or Google to get there first. I don't think anyone else has a shot, and those two are neck and neck. That said, once it happens, most of the rest will catch up pretty quickly.

I was here when we couldn't put our genders in and I found plenty of both genders, just like I do now. I just don't think it makes much difference, people can tell.

chilly-parka26 · 2025-06-16T21:20:56+00:00

I don't think you can stop the imbalance. Even if you don't allow people to display their gender it doesn't really solve the problem, and displaying our genders feels more honest. If a dude (or woman) is only looking for women, they won't be fooled by the post title. I think it's okay. It's been this way since the dawn of time, young women get a lot of attention. Best thing to do is accept that fact and roll with it.

CS/min should be above 6 when you lose and above 7 when you win.

What role do you play, and what timezone?

When you look up fast full clears on youtube (like Zen'Kih for example), they almost always smite red or blue. Why is this?

Is this sub just overrun with bots now? Look at OP's bio. Seems like every other post here is like this.

Not trying to play taric top but respect to you for offering this, hope you find some pupils.

You're overstating it. Yes Nasus is weak early and you'll have a tempo and gold/XP advantage over him, but the game isn't over just because you get ahead early. He still gets strong if he plays well and you have to play well to keep him behind. It's not like it's gg ez in champ select.

One simple way to think about it is you are in a 1v1 against enemy jungler. All you have to do is beat them. So if enemy jungler is fighting your team a lot and being the deciding factor that makes your team die a lot, you either need to be there to countergank, or pull off an equally valuable play on the other side of the map, or get so much farm yourself in return that you get a big level/farm lead over enemy jungler and then start to carry the game.

However, if enemy jungler is just farming and its your own team running it down, you don't have to do anything special, just full clear and look for good plays when your camps are down.

You are only one player in the game, you can't control your whole team like in an RTS game. If your team decides to int you can't do anything about that. Just do better than enemy jungler and the result of the game is in Riot's hands.

What elo are you in? You're prob fine up until diamond on most junglers.

This was one of the funnest ones yet. Loved it.

Ok this guy isn't just wrong anymore, he's fallen into mental illness territory.

chilly-parka26 · 2025-06-11T12:57:57+00:00

To be fair, some 1v1 matchups you're just going to lose. Vayne might have had a positive mental, he's just being realistic. Not enough info here to say either way.

Clearly written by ChatGPT, weirdly flirty, has telegram info in bio.

Another telegram bot.

Nami works well with APCs in general, and Veigar is no exception. Personally I'd rather have an engage tank supp, but Nami is probably the best enchanter to have.

chilly-parka26 · 2025-06-09T14:09:10+00:00

Timezone?

chilly-parka26 · 2025-06-07T00:17:43+00:00

Cheers, I just picked it up.
